Xpress Reviews WEB-FIRST REVIEWS OF BOOKS AND MEDIA Christina Lauren's The Unhoneymooners is one of three starred fiction titles this week. "Sassy and appealing, writing duo Lauren’s (My Favorite Half-Night Stand) latest endeavor is sure to please. A perfect read for beach or poolside, this is one hot summer story not to miss!" In nonfiction, Nine Lies About Work: A Freethinking Leader’s Guide to the Real World, by Marcus Buckingham and Ashley Goodall, is one of two starred titles. "This groundbreaking and thought-provoking work will appeal to organizational and team leaders and those who aspire to such positions." The Handmaid’ s Tale: The Graphic Novel, by Margaret Atwood with text and illustrations by Renée Nault, is this week's starred graphic novel. "Meet the new standard for sequential art adaptations of literature—in no way a replacement for Atwood’s singular work but an ideal introduction and gateway text. Highly recommended if not essential for all mature readers of graphic novels and contemporary literature." And in e-originals, Aliza Mann's Breaking His Rules is a "sexy contemporary [romance that] delivers on what romance readers expect, and the Detroit setting offers a refreshing change of scenery."
